Another great show! I love the sheepish design, probably since I'm in Ireland and surrounded by sheep! Unfortunately can't get the yarn you recommended over here, so it would be lovely to get to try it out (particularly the Saltwater colour).I'm JennyW1 on Ravelry.

We're in the same place right now. I just purchased the Sublime Organic Pattern book and enough yarn to make me the cabled handwarmers and my son the v-neck sweater. Yummy yarn. It's so lightly twisted it's almost like working with sliver at times. Am intrigued with the Zephyr needles. Have been waiting for a project to present itself so I can buy and try one size. Still want to try it. Just saw the Fairy Tale knits book at Barnes and Noble yesterday. Even my husband thought the knits were cute. You are so timely!

Your podcast was very interesting, as always. I got a kick out of your praying mantis/alien problem. It sounds cute no matter what!I would love to try the Sublime organic merino in 190 pod.I'd also love a chance to read the new Fairy Tale Knits. The interview was excellent!I'm ayntbee on Ravelry

I enjoyed the podcast. Don't be too hard on yourself about not being able to frog something. I've had one UFO laying around for more than 2 years that needs to be frogged. Oi I make excuses every time I try. LOL.

My favorite color of the organic merino is Felt. Thanks for sharing about the book. It's one I'd really like to have too.

The organic Merino sounds really nice. I think this is the next kind of yarn I'd like to learn how to spin. I wouldn't have thought to look at a book titled Fairytale Knits but the interview was so interesting that now I will. I especially liked that she included some patterns for boys and that most patterns are seamless.

Enjoyed your podcast as always. And I love the look of the Sublime Organic Merino Wool, especially the Saltwater colorway. The Floss is beautiful also. I'm curious about the patterns in the Fairy Tale Knits book.

The Sublime yarn sounds wonderful (and I love the Sheepish sweater!). I think Felt is my favorite color but Pod comes in at a close second!

By the way, I'm curious to hear what kind of yarn you were using with the Zephyr needles? I'm also a Knitpicks nickle-plated & Addi Turbo addict so wasn't sure I'd like them but ended up loving them. I'm using a thick wool with a lot of lanolin in it which I figured would stick even more on the acrylic but it's actually working out really well. It may just be that I am used to pushing my stitches along anyway, it's just how I knit. I'd actually love to hear how you get the stitches to move along on their own sometime!

Loved the interview you had with Allison. You should definitly try and do more interviews with designers because sometimes it can help introduce the listeners to new patterns...Plus it is always fun and interesting to hear how a designer got started with knitting. If you could find some male knitters to interview, that could be cool too.

I always look forward to listening to the podcast, and this was no exception. I was also glad to hear a review about the new Knit Picks needles, from someone who isn't from KP's, since I also listen to that podcast. And I just might have to check out Fairy Tale Knits since I am sure my little princess will love it too. Keep up the good work.

I love your podcast! And thank you for your product reviews, they are very helpful. I usually never win but I thought I would try :), I really liked "Soap" color in Sublime Organic Wool. Maybe this time I'll win :). Thank you for your podcast, keep it up, I am fateful listener.

Thanks so much for your podcasts. They're always so helpful. I love the product reviews, and your praying mantis story was just what I needed as I've been in a life and death struggle w/a sleeve on a sweater I'm knitting. It just won't come out right!

Love the podcast and really enjoyed the interview with Allison. Please keep up the good work!! I would love to try the Sublime organic morino. Also, I have a couple of nephews that would absolutly love a hat with bugs on it!! Thanks for all you do!! I am HeatherD on Ravelry.

Enjoyed the podcast - particularly the riff on the mantis hat - somebody has got to love that, despite your disappointment. Also enjoyed the interview with Allison - am particularly that it containcs a pattern that is coveted by teenagers - almost unheard of!

Here is something I miss: Remeber how you used to announce the winners of a contest and there was a sound byte of applause? Whatever happen to them? Has the recession done away with them and sent them packing?

WOW I love the colors in that yarn. They are pretty muted which are great for some more professional looking garments. I really loved the Asperagus and pod colors though. Greens are always my favorites.

I have seen a few of the patterns from the book. They looked really fun I think I might try to make my niece the crown.
